This has the makings of a great campground. But it's not. It's a mess really. Everyone has boats, golf carts and big trucks. So while the sites are decent size, there are all these vehicles, boats, and boat trailers stuffed in every single nook and cranny in the place. The roads are thin and lined with trees and ponds. So when someone leaves their big pickup truck sticking a foot or so into the road, you can't get by towing your trailer. It's a disaster. Boats and boat trailers sticking out everywhere. The roads are all one way, going one way, so it appears that you can't get anywhere without going the wrong way down a one way street. It's very hard to get in and out with just the pickup truck. Getting around towing is very difficult. And the whole thing floods. We came after a couple of days of rain, and our entire site was flooded out. We couldn't even get to our fire ring. We had to wade through water to get to the power and water/sewer hookups. At least we had a patio, so there was a little usable dry space on the site. The water was right up to the patio. There were frogs and hundreds of tadpoles in our little swamp. Our site actually appeared to be one of the better ones. The sewer hookup is so far in front of the rest of the hookups that I had to go to Walmart a buy a second 10' extension even though I have a full size hose and an extension already. Now the good. It's really a nice place. The location is fabulous. 4 miles from a decent gulf beach. Near all the crystal river attractions. Very nice pool. It appears they try to keep,the place looking good. They staff is very nice and friendly. They have a cool little ice cream shack. If you're a boater, they have a large number of water front sites with boat docks. So it has the making of a great place. But right now it's a real mess. I wouldn't come back here. I'm giving it a 5 out of 10 rating because of the potential and the location. - Brad K

This RV park is BUSY? This is a huge park with a boat launch Most visitors had boats and golf carts, the sites are big enough for your camper boat and truck, we had enough room to park our Class A sideways and face our porch towards the lake, Or site was grass and was pretty dry the first day until it rained, After the rain the site was a puddled mess for the remaining 2 days. I expected a better site for $60 - In4nI

One of the best places we've stayed at this year. Nice pool, easy access to fishing, good size space. The only real issue was the "no-seeums" but its Florida after all! We will definitely be back soon. Bring your kayak, power boat, or canoe. - Davgonzo1

We have stayed at this campground for the past two winters. The campground is now under new management and the owners are doing much needed upgrades. Close to three rivers leading to the Gulf of Mexico. The fresh spring fed rivers are home to the manatees during the winter months, and there are many local businesses catering to the visitors. - heartlandks

Stayed here for a total of 10 days. I had made reservations for 1 week but wife decided to stay an extra 3 days. Had no problems extending stay, even got to stay on the same site. Park is old but in pretty good shape. Could use a little clean up and paint but all in all is nice. Park is actually on state land and operated by contractor.

The biggest problem in my opinion is the roads. Huge holes and very rough. Seems as though some have been patched but not enough to really make a difference. Have to be very careful when navigating in the campground. Biggest plus for the wife was the rustic feeling of the cg. - Pappi

Location is great for kayaking. Sites are shaded. Interior dirt road is riddled with huge potholes. If the road were fixed, this would be a much better park. Site 44 was all dirt, but others were graveled. 44 was a long pull-thru with shade. - Breeze On

Good location but the "pull thru" site was not really pull thru. A lot of shade, relatively small, but OK for a few days. - Ken Sawczyn

This park is hard to find and provides no signage on the main roads. We came out on 491 (S. Lecanto Hwy) to W. Stagecoach Trail. Turn on the Stagecoach and drive to Trail 13 which is marked by the brown Tillis Hill sign. Now the fun starts. The road is more than a mile long and is dirt! Go slow! Very Slow! After a mile you end up on a paved road that leads to the campground. No office staff was there to great us so we just went to our spot. The park is quite nice with trees and room between the sites. There is water and electric but no sewer hookups. We were on site 21 and had to park the rear on boards. Otherwise the site was great. The front yard is huge. Do NOT follow your GPS. Ours told us to go from Citrus Way/Lecanto/491 to Trail 18. This is NOT what you want to do. Take Stagecoach! I don't know that we would camp here again given the entrance road which is sad because it really is a quiet campground. - Tammy7

The main road to get to the campsite is a lime rock type road about a mile or so, go slow or you'll rock everything out of your cabinets. Once you get to the campgrounds it's very nice, the sites are easy to back into and the parking pads are nice. There is water, electric hookup, picnic table and fire ring with flip over grill. The site are spacious and in view of others but still have enough room between sites. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. There were plenty of stables and were very nice with easy access..perfect for equestrian needs. We will definitely be camping here again! - 2Austins

Very well maintained campground in 45,000 acre Withlacoochee Forest near Inverness. Spacious sites with paved entry roads and paved sites. Large open pavilion plus huge recreation building with kitchen available for groups. Set up for equestrian use with modern stalls for rent, corral, many miles of riding trails in the forest. Couple of cautions: absolutely no dogs and must call ranger at number given to make reservations for all facilities - no drive-ins. A real undiscovered gem not shown in most RV guidebooks. - Trav-ler

Great if you love the wilderness of a site!.= Ride right from your camp site to off road fun.... The staff is outstanding, and the bath house was clean. Some site are not level and are short, but there are many which are level and large. - One VG Couple

Great if you are riding ATV's or dirt bikes. Ride right from your camp site to 2800 acres of trails, mud pits and just plain off road fun. The staff is outstanding, and the bath house was clean. Some site are not level and are short, but there are many which are level and large. - DS650

Poor site, no electricity or Wifi, run down old park models, narrow roads with major concrete damage, confederate flags-- We should have read more reviews before picking this RV park. There is a large number of permanent run-down sites with obviously no standards for upkeep. Our site had recently been dug up for replacement of wiring/cable and had not been leveled off. It had a 4' wide hole, piles of dirt, wiring scrap on it, and a water faucet bent almost to ground. We asked if we could change to a much better site beside us, and were told it was rented. First night we found out when our electricity went out, that, yes, that site had been rented but the RVer left because he was fed up with the power problems that had been occurring for several weeks. As I sit writing this review, our power has been out for 4-5 hours. We absolutely need power to run my husband's breathing machine. The internet is also out. Roads are narrow and in places are missing four foot wide areas of concrete. The new owner, Sun, did great work in Sarasota with Sun 'n Fun, but has a long way to go to bring this campground into the 21st century. - zephyreeze

We have stayed here about 4 times. It is under new management, Sun Resorts. They are in the process of upgrading electrical boxes. The manager told me of the coming improvements....but they are charging "Resort" rates now. No Passport America honored during tourist season, no surprise there. But every time previously during the season we paid PA rates. There are many "tired" units here. They do look like they have put in some concrete pads for "6 month guests"....but only if you sign up for 2 years. The pool area still the same, nice. This is NOT a Resort! The manager stated, it is a Resort. I laughed and said, I am a zebra....but you can plainly see i'm not. I am voting with my wallet and will not return! Folks seem pleasant. - MizB450

This large, clean, well-maintained park has a lot of seasonal and permanent residents in park models. Everyone is friendly and courteous. The staff is welcoming and very responsive. Our damaged picnic table was being replaced before I returned from reporting it at the office. Our site was wide enough for our awning and room to walk around. We backed up to the managers house, and the low area to the rear of our site flooded with water (we had occasional rain bands from Hurricane Harvey), but never impacted our rig. The laundry is huge, and immaculate. It is also a public laundry for the area, but there were plenty of machines to spare. Unlike most places we camp, this campground collects recycling. The campground is very convenient to old Homosassa Springs, where we went out on a scalloping charter, and the State Park with Florida native species and a hippo (you have to visit to get the story). There is a post office just down the road. This part of Homosassa is quiet, and feels like "old" Florida with old trees draped in moss. A few miles away is the typical bustling Florida town with strip malls, huge grocery stores, and any other kind of store you might need. Crystal River, known for manatee tours and pretty in its own right, is just up the road. There are no beaches along this part of the coast, but there is a nice public park/beach in the fresh water of Crystal River. Swimming in the part of the Florida coast is in glorious fresh water springs. - ShoreXplorers

This is a big park with lots of permanent campers. The free Wi-fi is very hit and miss, cable tv works fine. The bathhouse is cleaned but the shower curtains are dirty and moldy as are the shower stall walls. There is a big lack of communication between the office workers and the campers. NONE of the rules are enforced in this park and if you are staying over a weekend be prepared for party central! Weekday nights are a lot better. Dogs run free and nothing is done even when they attack other dogs! Stayed here 6 weeks, wouldn't stay again. - Dfly19

Check in was very cold. We were excited for a great weekend with Family and Friends. 3 Sites and 2 chalets booked. Sites were less than adequate, very tight and muddy. Roads were unkept and full of ruts. As many parks in Florida this Park seemed to be full of seasonals who were very friendly and welcoming. They could teach the front desk a lesson in customer service. Many trees however there was a newer looking section with great looking sites. Boat rental went smooth, Manatees were plentiful. - SomedayCame727

Price was with Good Sam discount and included tax. This is a very mixed use park. It feels more like a campground than resort, but they do have a clubhouse, pool, marina with tiki bar and some activities. Most sites seem to be occupied by permanent residents; many who seem to come for the weekend. There did seem to be some snowbirds as well. Marina has boat launch and there is boat storage, so lots of boaters on the weekend. Big rig section F is way in the back in a large gravel lot with hook-ups. To get there, you have to navigate down a long and windy road with trees on both sides. Doable, but be careful! Sites are very close together. Just enough room for slides and awning, but almost touching. Our picnic table was black with mold and looked like it would collapse if sat on. There is a brand new section N just opened closer to the front for big rigs with pull-thru sites and concrete patios. WiFi was okay most of the time. No over the air TV channels available. We were able to get satellite in section F, but much of park is too wooded. They have cable TV, but we did not use it. Seems to be very popular with partiers. - krb

We have been coming to this place for a long time. And sadly it has gotten worse, use to be a great place now staff is NOT helpful at all. I can't begin to tell you the issues we had, we stayed 3days. Cabin had no hot water no gas to cook, for a whole day, so many smalls things. We most likely will not be back. It has become a 55 and older park, use to be a fun place to take your young family. - girlfisher

Upon a rival I spent 30 minutes cleaning debris from my site and if I can find a rake it may only take another hour to finish. It's embarrassing that an owner or park manager would deem this site ready for use! - HappyCamper187

Very noisy parties kept us from sleeping for two nights in a row. This campground could be OK if it wasn't for a group of regulars who party there on the week-end until 2 AM. Not teenagers but older people who get drunk, make loud music, bang on tables, women screaming etc. You could hear them from inside our trailer even with earplugs. We did not want to start a fight with drunks or call the cops but we'll never go back.

I give it a 2 rating because the boat ramp was nice, pool is OK and the place was clean. If you want to fish and get drunk, it may be fine. - Jacques Mertens

We stayed here for 1 night because we had a bad experience upon check in at a nearby campground, they had 1 site available and is was the only pull through in the campground, it had a nice view of the small pond. There were several mobile homes with permanent residents a few sites need cleaning up but for the most part the camp ground was clean. You cant beat $30 for a full hookup site. - In4nI

Run down mobile home/RV park with a few sites in the back carved out for short term RVs. At the PA rate, you get what you pay for here. Winding road to get here. Narrow interior roads. Not the easiest sites to back in. Some trees have branches that need trimming. Free wifi was useless. Only 3 OTA channels. Spotty cell service. If you don't need tv, cell service or internet connectivity, this might be the place for you. No fenced dog area. Only a small park, so walking the loop is pretty quick. Residents seem friendly. Pics on the web site make it look real nice. Maybe in the summer it is nicer. I doubt I would stay here again. - TH travelers

We stayed here for one month in 2017. It was cheap but dirty. Laundry room was not usable. Bugs were intolerable. Ticks fell from all the trees. The sewer smelled. Never staying there again. It is more a mobile home park than an RV park or campground. - DKSn

Was in site 411 a pull thru. Lots of room for truck trailer, car and boat. Pool was great. Real close to boat ramps. Summer so less than half full. In winter no Passport America pricing and the place is always full. Great cable and wifi. Only two comfort stations with showers in camping area, but I don't use them very often. Great quiet campground with big sites. - sammy the lot boy

This is one of the nicest parks we've stayed in - very roomy sites and everything worked great including the wifi. A nice pool and hot tub! Roads are a bit tight in places but we have 33' trailer with no problems. The staff was exceptional working with us to stay extra days. Close enough to shopping, etc., but far away enough to be quiet. One day a tortoise came toddling through our spot! Sites are quite varied from deep in a wooded area to uncovered - seems there are many full-timers but rules are enforced so it's a lovely place to stay. - Catsinatrailer

Very clean, large park. We loved it! Lots of good dog walking. It was a gorgeous large park, lots of peace and quiet, trees and shade with large sites and a pool. We gave it an A and two thumbs up. - H42 Sailing
